The North - Western Monthly says, the womens clubs may become the most potent outside educational forces that America has yet seen. If their great opportunity is seized, that of being the sustaining and guiding power correlating all the educational forces of the community. Surely this would be a grand. mission. Club work in the past has been anything but general, public spirited, or even democratic in its influence, and the great, the welcome change that exists in the aim and purposes of womens clubs does promise glorious possibilities. The old, prim, club may exclusive, yet occasionally be seen, but it is simply out of date and arouses no ones envy. It may limit its membership with the heartfelt approval of all of the rest of the world.

A committee was appointed from the Womans Club to wait upon the Board of Health, to ascertain if they would not consider the matter, looking to the passing of an ordinance prohibiting expectorating on the walk. A committee was also appointed to look up the ordinance in regard to power houses, factories, etc., ng There are two club houses building in this city and before many months there will be house warmings. A courteous thing for the hosts and hostesses of these two establishments would be to entertain each other. The form of entertainment would probably be different in character but Liteequally enjoyable. The Ladies rary for instance might furnish a feast of reason and flow of tea, and while the reason might be sandwiched in on an Alta club menu probably it would scarcely be missed provided the usual viands were in evidence. The ideal club is the mixed club, and a few meetings of this kind might be the means of establishing such a club in our city. greater injustice is done the laboring man in taxing him to support a lawless element in idleness and thereby encouraging criminals in the pursuit of crime. The competition of prison labor is so small that prices cannot be effected in the least by it, and when we take into consideration the benefit the community sustains in reforming these .men and women (even though a small proportion be reformed), by imbibing habits of industry and a knowledge of some trade, this vastly outweighs the arguments against it even if honest labor were more directly effected. A Question of Classification. At a recent meeting of the local The Womans Weekly deplores the fact that the swell young women of Associations of Librarians, one of Omaha are fast losing the oldfashioned those who related their experiences in idea of a good time.

There are too many sober minded young men and women who have a horror and contempt for anything that is demoralizing, that the swell set that indulge in any such disgusting abuses of courtesies extended to the fair ones by gallant admirers will in the very nature of things be scorned as outcasts by respectable people. a using smoke consumers. These practical moves on the part of the club women will wonderfully prisons in a dependent condition on the State treasury, and by enforcing idleness upon this class of people has been productive of great harm.

The old protest of labor unions against prisoners being allowed to do any work that will enter into competition with the products of their labor has to a great extent been the cause of keeping our in properly entering and classifying a certain book. The volume was called Letters from Hell. For two or three days, said the speaker, my friend and all his assistants worried about the book. General LiteraModern Fiction, ture, Ancient History, and Books of Travel were all somewhat related to the general subject covered by the troublesome book, but not quite broad enough to cover it.
